In this short video I give you a short and very high-level overview of how GPS tracking devices work and how Apple Airtags work, and I explain some of the differences between Apple Airtags and regular GPS locators and GPS tracking devices - and some of the pros and cons of using either a GPS tracker or Airtag.

why are dislikes disabled? are you afraid of the truth?

@TheNotaRubicon Жыл бұрын

KZfaq disabled them .. on ALL videos on the entire platform.. Congratulations on what must be the stupidest, most willfully ignorant comment I've ever seen.

@1D10CRACY Жыл бұрын

Per KZfaq, "We also saw the dislike count harming parts of our ecosystem through dislike attacks as people actively worked to drive up the number of dislikes on a creator's videos." The creator can still see how many thumbs down there are, but the viewers can not. They also changed the way the algorithm sees the dislike, it doesn't seem to have a negative effect anymore.

My wife bought 4 Apple Airtags, for a recent airlines trip, out of the country. We placed 1 each, inside our checked baggage, and our carry on bags. No problems with flight down. When we returned to the Atlanta airport, we parked at the Domestic gate. While our (everyones) luggage got sent to the International Gate! We were waiting at the Domestic baggage claim... Then I said "Wife, check the Airtags to see where the bags are!" And boom, her phone displayed our 2 tags at the domestic gate, and the other 2 at the International baggage claim! Then we had to take a shuttle bus way the F%#K over to the International side and get our luggage! F'N Delta! But, the Airtags worked, and we found our stuff! (A few other travelers did the same thing.) I don't carry an Iphone, but it did save the day, that time! 😊

@StealthyNomadica 10 ай бұрын

We invented “shortwave” communications when we were kids by poking a small hole in the bottom of two paper cups and running a piece of twine about 30’ through the hole in each cup from the outside to the inside, and tying a knot to secure the twine in place in the inside of each cup. Then, we would relocate our teams to the requisite distance allowed by the length of the twine, utilizing all the recon training we got from reading our subscription to Boy’s Life Magazine, and we could communicate our plans for exercises such as “Ultimate-Ding-Dong-Ditch” with brown paper lunch bags filled with dog poo that we would put on a target doorstep, light on fire, hit the bell, and sprint to the pre-ordained observation area to extract the maximum laugh value. Too bad KZfaq won’t let me upload a diagram of the schematics. We were dumb back in the sixties. If we knew the awesomeness of our invention back then, we would be rich.

Cube tracker will be my 2nd options for a tracker. 20 a month long battery life. Angel sense tracker allows you to call it and hear conversation but battery life is about 24 hours.

@@durby580hunting dog trackers is the only thing that will work in the extreme rural areas. The collar has a powerful VHF frequency transmitter but even it's range can drop to a few hundred feet in certain situations. They use a directional antenna to point to the direction of the collar. If you know how radio frequencies travel, you'll do okay with a hunting tracker. Frequencies just don't magically appear, they have to be broadcast. VHF needs more power but will travel through heavy greenery and over hills where cellphone frequencies won't. No, do not trust anything other than hunting dog trackers in the deep rural areas.

This is a major point. Smart Tags do NOT have GPS in them. I'm guessing that technology requires too much energy to be in a compact form factor. This is why I won't be buying one. Because I want to use it hiking, or off grid. Smart Tags would be useless there.
